Historical Allocation Postures

At Saratoga Capital Management, LLC we believe that asset allocation strategies should change when the economy experiences major changes. As the market moves between phases such as full-growth, slow-growth, recession and crawl-out, Saratoga considers changes to its asset allocation models. Saratoga employs an asset allocation process called Dynamic Asset Allocation. Dynamic Asset Allocation recognizes that the overall economy is fluid, and is comprised of numerous economic sectors. Saratoga regularly evaluates how individual economic sectors are effecting the general economy in order to develop our asset allocation parameters. After these parameters are established, the below asset classes are over-weighted or under-weighted in the various asset allocation models to reflect the economic environment we believe we are currently in.

The following chart shows the ratio of Core Equity, Sector Equity, Alternative, and Fixed Income asset classes in the model. Please note that Model 161 currently has no exposure to the Sector Equity group.
